There are three options available in this drop-down box, of which
“Ethernet Port” is displayed. The other options are “Serial Port” and “USB
Port”. Changing to any one of the three Ports will list the devices which are
found over that specific Port.
(2) Drop-down Box 2
Once one of the three (Serial, USB, or Ethernet) communication
interfaces has been selected in the first drop-down box, a list of all
available Cyclone devices over that interface will be displayed for
selection.
(3) Close Button

access. Once a device has been opened for access, it needs to be closed
before another device can be opened for access.
(4) Open Button
The “Open” button opens a device for access. This is a required step
before changing the parameters on the selected device. Once a device

connected via the Serial or USB interfaces, or are found on the network.
